If you are using a forum, blog or CMS, there may be a sitemap plugin available that will handle this

           for you.  If your using a custom designed website, such as an HTML site, you will need to create on
           yourself.




                                               Creating A Basic Sitemap

                      Relevant Text - Rather than have a full page of links, I like to add some relevant text to

                      the page, to make it look a bit more natural.   If you have a lot of pages on your site, you
                      can break them down into categories, and put a description for each of the categories,
                      using keywords when possible. If you do not have a lot of pages, add a small paragraph at

                      the top that says something like, “About yourwebsite.com” and write a small “About us”
                      type of paragraph, but do it about your website.




                      Example Site:
                      “The SupaGreen.com website was designed to display the exotic plants and exotic

                      landscaping that SupaGreen is capable of. Please browse the sections below to see what
                      SupaGreen Exotic Landscaping can do for you!”




                      There's a paragraph of related text for the search engines to chew on, but if a human
                      reads it, it makes sense and actually helps explain what the sitemap is.




           Anchor Those Links! -  Use anchor text whenever possible, but remember to keep it natural, don't

           stuff tons of keywords in here, place them where they would fit in normal conversation.




                                                     Google Sitemap

           You can also create a sitemap of your site and submit it to Google, giving them a full listing of all
           the URL's on your site to spider.  The sitemap must be in a specific format, more information on

           Google Sitemaps is available here:

           With all of these tweaks in place, your website should have a much higher keyword density, but why
